If you’re going to Jon Stewart’s ‘Restoring Sanity’ rally, let’s talk

Jon Stewart has become the primary news source for many Americans — and not only those under 30. So when Stewart, who hosts “The Daily Show” on Comedy Central, announces a rally in Washington “to restore sanity,” what do you do?

If you start packing your bags, then we want you!

We’re looking for a few good women and men — and girls and boys — going to the rally Saturday on the National Mall.

Stewart has revealed few details about the rally, which is actually going to be two rallies in one — we guess — because his Comedy Central colleague Stephen Colbert announced his own rally in Washington to “keep fear alive.” The rally/rallies are scheduled to start at noon and last three hours.

Stewart’s “Rally to Restore Sanity” came in response to the “Restoring Honor” rally in August organized by Glenn Beck, who hosts a show on Fox News. Stewart said the idea of his was to “take it down a notch for America.” He called it “a million moderate march” and “a clarion call for reasonableness.”

So, if you’re going, let’s talk. And if you’re willing, you can be the Capital Region’s eyes and ears. You can send us photos and e-mails. We’ll follow your tweets.

First, call or e-mail me (Tom Keyser) at 454-5448 or tkeyser@timesunion.com by 3 p.m. Wednesday. Let me know how to get back to you.

And remember, as Stewart said, I may disagree with you, but I’m pretty sure you’re not Hitler.
